1) Where is the market heading?
Longevity before trend cycles : In Zurich, the focus is on durability, maintenance effort and repairability (local re-oiling, replaceable gliders).
Natural look : Visible annual rings, free edges and warm tones are preferred to the “perfect” look.
Compact dimensions : In old and new buildings , ≤ 95 cm Ø or ≤ 130 cm length for coffee tables have proven their worth – matching door, lift and staircase dimensions.
Mix & Match : Wood + glass (8-10 mm ESG) keeps the look light and makes cleaning easier.

2) Sustainability that buyers really check
-
Wood origin & drying : air/chamber drying and target residual moisture content (typically ≈ 8–12% for indoor use).
-
Repairability : Oil surfaces can be locally refreshed; butterfly wedges /resin fillings secure typical cracks.
-
Transparent transport : Planned time windows, step/lift check, packaging return – clarify everything before purchase.
-
Lifespan : Ten years+ of use and predictable maintenance count more than short-lived trends.
